  1. Katya, your book is very interesting. As for me, I like read some stories about young people. If I understood right, the main heroine is Sam who died on the Friday February, 12. And she has a chance to change something in this situation. It's really cool!!! I think that this book is similar to the book "The Lovely Bones". You can read it if you have a leisure time))))
    About your blog... You've done very good job. My congratulations. Especially, I like you expressions from this book. I mean proverbs. It's very interesting to know equivalents of Russian proverbs. Nice.
    But you know, sometimes when I read your notes, something of this notes were a bit boring. But, please, don't be offended at me))))
    Thank you for your work. Maybe I'll even read this book)))
